that makes us unique. and the strength and character of this country has always come from our ability to recognize -- no matter who we are, no matter where we come from, no matter what we look like, no matter what abilities we have -- to recognize ourselves in each other. i was reminded of that idea the other day when i read a letter from tamerria robinson. she's a 12-year-old girl in georgia. and she told me about how hard she works and about all the community service she does with her brother. and she wrote, "i try to achieve my dreams and help others do the same." "that," she said, "is how the world should work." that's a pretty good motto. i work hard to achieve my goals and then i try to help others to achieve their goals. and i agree with tamerria. that's how the world should work. but it's only going to work that way if all of you get in good habits while you're in school. so, yes, each of us need to work hard. we all have to take responsibilities for our own education. we need to take responsibilit

we use the water as if it is cheaper than dirt, because it is for those of us that use it. if we could create small water markets, we could move water from relatively low value to relatively high value uses, getting rid of a good deal of the misallocation between urban, industrial, and agricultural uses, and improving the environment. in washington, idaho, and montana, the focus on using markets to improve the flow, purchasing water, they are doing it without the high and dry result, without driving up the agriculture. it can and will work if we give them a chance. can you expect this -- i will wrap up with this -- can you expect this to happen if you turn it over to your local politician? hold your breath and you will not look long -- you will not live long if you wait for that. these incentives are not part of the equation. cleaning up arsenic is what it is about, and if it costs the city money, that is the problem for new board. or maybe we will throw them a subsidy, in which case it is your problem. politicians are not likely to bring forward market reforms that will ma
